Google publishes new repair guides and the Pixel Diagnostic App to make fixing Pixels easier

To make fixing Pixel phones easier, Google has released updated repair guides in both English and French in addition to a new app called Pixel Diagnostic.

With the help of the Pixel Diagnostic App, owners can check if their Pixel is working properly after a repair as well as test it for problems both before and after. By dialling *#*#7287#*#*, you can start the app from the Pixel Phone app, but before you do, make sure your smartphone is online.

Use the new Repair Mode for Pixels to safeguard your data and keep others from accessing it while your Pixel is being repaired, should you need to send it in for maintenance. Simply turn it on before giving the technician your phone to fix, then turn it off again once it’s back.
